Can Not install Zen Cart 1.5.4

I am posting this for others input as to what might be wrong
I have installed v1.5.4 in the past and the only thing that I believe has changed is the php version
Where it was v5.4.x it is now v5.5.x
I have uploaded files and got a blank screen after selecting the "click here" on the opening screen
Believing that the file set might be corrupt - I downloaded a fresh zip and uploaded those files with the same results

I have attempted to determine what version(s) exhibit this and see that at lest ZC v1.5.0 allows installing where ZC v1.5.4 gives a blank screen - there are no error logs for this either in zencart or in the server logs

You can see the results

For v1.5.4 HERE
And for v1.5.0 HERE

Any suggestions are welcomed

linux
mysql v5.4.x
php v5.5.x
apache v2.4.x

Re: Can Not install Zen Cart 1.5.4

Does v1.5.5 do the same? It has a whole new installer ...

May be apples to oranges but I had a similar issue with 1.5.1 and 1.5.3

You might be correct and I am not sure if this something that changed when php changed???

This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine:
Zend Engine v2.5.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2015 Zend Technologies
    with XCache v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 2005-2014

Re: Can Not install Zen Cart 1.5.4

Without xcache all things are fine now
Thank the community
This answers why I was able to install recently and then could not after upgrading php to 5.5
Guess I added xcache??

Re: Can Not install Zen Cart 1.5.4

The xcache difference between the 1.5.4 installer and the 1.5.5 installer is that the 1.5.5 installer uses the code from https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?215741-Hitting-a-wall-with-installation-blank-screen&p=1268753#post1268753
